2012- Energy Services BC launched a new strategic initiative, the Business Development Initiative in 2008 to expand the organization’s mandate of supporting oil and gas service and supply companies in northeast BC. The Business Development Initiative was a multi-year business development project with the goal of increasing the participation of BC businesses in the provision of goods and services to the oil and gas industry.
Under this project, Energy Services BC was dedicated to a three-year initiative focused on fueling the future of BC’s energy industry. Under Energy Services BC’s Business Development Initiative, the following was undertaken:
- Implementation of a strategic plan to address the expectations of Energy Services BC member companies, industry, community, government and Aboriginal groups;
- Identification of BC oil and gas service sector companies, the goods and services they provide, and where new opportunities for these firms are;
- Identification of explorers and producers who operate in BC, including identification of their procurement processes are relationship building between Energy Services BC, its member companies, and these firms;
- Promotion of the BC service sector to explorers and producers not located within the region, and;
- Development of the BC oil and gas service sector through procurement and marketing tools.
Additionally, Energy Services BC provides its oil and gas service suppliers with cost and value analysis to inform their business decisions and prepares pre-feasibility reports for high potential opportunities. Energy Services BC has identified explorers and producers who operate in BC and initiates dialogue and relationship-building to encourage transparency in their procurement practices and advocates for increased utilization of BC goods and services within oil and gas companies’ operations.
